American Foundation for Suicide Prevention North Dakota Chapter

THE STORY:

The Fargo Marathon is May 20th, 2017 and I’m hitting the pavement again for Suicide Awareness. I am running to ease the stigma surrounding suicide, to encourage those suffering from mental illness to seek treatment and to show support for the families and friends that have been affected by suicide.

On December 1st 2014, I lost my brother to suicide. My brother was 24. He was young, fun, handsome, always willing to give a hand. He was a hard worker, genuine, outgoing, always cracking jokes, and he loved his friends and family. Behind all this was a dark wall and he was suffering inside. He passed away the weekend after Thanksgiving. On that day many lives changed and I am now determined to bring awareness to suicide prevention!

Please join me in Supporting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in reaching my goal of $5000.
